 releases) (default).

 Just to note, WordPress doesn't differentiate between security and
 maintenance releases, they're both minor releases and auto-update
 currently.

 My reasoning on the order was that the significance increases as you down
 down the list - Top is default (minor versions), Next is a step up (major
 versions).

 Reversing it to be `Major -> Minor -> Do not` would make sense if/when the
 major selection is the default.

 Just to re-iterate it again, I really don't support having the `Do not
 keep my site updated` option visible, unless it's the only option
 selectable (ie. a plugin or wp-config configuration has disabled updates),
 so we're really only dealing with two options here not 3-4. If a plugin is
 added that adds that option or others, they can do whatever they want with
 the ordering and wording..

 Including recommendations in the options doesn't seem like what the
 options are for, and it's not done anywhere else, Site Health probably
 already includes enough warnings on that one "Updates are disabled due to
 XYZ" type messages
